We study stellar variability in open clusters. The observational data include thousands of CCD-frames in Strömgren and Johnson photometric bands. The main data reduction methods used in our study, are pure aperture photometry and combined PSF/aperture photometry. In order to verify if the two approaches give consistent results, we reduced a selection of data separately with two methods and then compared the resulting differential light-curves. We found that for bright stars and optimal seeing conditions, the average systematic difference between the light-curves was less than 1.5 mmag with standard deviation of 1.3 mmag.
